    Other companies: _"Here's a knob, here's another one. Oh look, there's a fader. Sweet! Doesn't this preset sound great?! Our plug-ins are really the best! You should give us more money."_
    FabFilter and Dan Worral: _"Sound is really tricky, and making a recording sound natural even more. Here's how audio professionals deal with this problem. By the way, we're going to use our products to illustrate this."_
    I'm just blown away how informative these tutorials are. Makes me feel good about every penny I spent on FabFilter plug-ins.

    I’m shocked at the quality of your videos. Usually when I look at UA-cam tutorials is usually people talking about topics they have rudimentary understanding of just for views, to build a platform or not really wanting to give away too much information. You my friend are a true teacher of the arts. That reverb automation is just crazy never thought of that. Simple yet extremely effective. Your explanation of things are so clear and precise. I don’t normally write comments but I had to for this.

    • @zazyczech

      Their tutorial are very inspirational. Brief and clear! I try to do that same way in my channel, because I hate the way your wrote ("people talking about topics they have rudimentary understanding of just for view"). But for small Czech market :-)

    Pro-R is my absolute favorite reverb:
    -amazing sound!!!!!
    -adjustable in REALTIME without annoying zipper artifacts!!
    -Decay rate EQ...
    -precision when needed, incredible lushness when turning that 'character' knob.
    in a nutshell: it is pure brilliance from the plugin GODS of Fabfilter!!!
    I LOVE FABFILTER PLUGINS!!!
    I LOVE DAN WORRAL's TUTORIALS!!!

  • @johnghadimi
    @johnghadimi 11 місяців тому +1

    Blown away by this.. somehow through explaining the concepts of reverb, you also get introduced to the actual plugin's functionality. I wish all plugin "tutorials" were like this. This is the gold standard. A+

  • @mariohartmann0001
    @mariohartmann0001 3 роки тому +13

    so amazing how Dan just casually explains concepts in a way I have never seen them explained before and they just make so much more sense in a realistic scenario. The predelay was the best example for that IMO. I always thought of it as a "don't wash up the initial transience" kinda tool which is what it does but doesn't really describe what that actually means but seeing the logic behind it with a big room but still close up sound source makes the concept so much clearer and more logical.

  • @fakshen1973

    Fab filter tutorials always step well beyond the "turn this for more/less". Dan IS the man.

  • @sartoriusrock
    @sartoriusrock 3 роки тому +18

    A little caveat to reverb making things sound like they're "towards the back":
    What really makes sound sources appear closer or further away is the amount of *timbral detail* in their signal. Reverb can accomplish this, but only when its signal (with lessened timbral detail) begins to overshadow the direct source (with more timbral detail).
    To make things sound further away, I usually will usually use a subtractive parametric EQ to cut frequencies that contain timbral detail detail. Typically high-mid frequencies between 2-5kHz

    • @LYSHEmusic
      @LYSHEmusic Рік тому +6

      There is complex of things that makes sound more distant - eq, dynamic range and transients, width of source and width of early reflections/reverb tail, and very important is contrast with other elements of the mix.

    I am still surprised by some things I already know. I think the fact that it can be explained so easily and how going over old knowledge keeps you aware of it is what makes Dan and his videos so god damn good.

  • @tusharjamwal
    @tusharjamwal Рік тому

    what strikes me in almost every video od Dan's is that all of the things he talks about makes a difference but it all still sounds great if the music is good.
    So what I think I need to do as a musician is focus mainly on the music, lets say 70% of the way and try to get the arrangement and the parts all right. Then I do the best I can with mixing. Where I have a couple jobs to do which include:
    1. deciding on where I want each part to be placed/perceived. Depth and width can be played with using pan, reverb and phase trickery using EQ plugins.
    2. Balancing the levels for all the different sections of the piece
    3. Eq the parts slightly if they seem to fight for space
    4. Compression (im not sure what this is exactly gonna achieve except make everything louder) need to learn more
    Then I mix all the parts down into one Track and do a master eq such that it sounds decent in the car, from the phone speaker, earbuds, what have you, and not just my monitors. Oops should have checked for Mono compatibility before i mixed it down.
    And lastly slap a limiter on it and make sure the loudness is not too far away from other tracks in the same style on Spotify

      @@tylerdurden6992 I hear you. I meant getting the reverb to sound acoustically natural and not like a "effect" is not always easy. But the video demonstrates that in a cool way.
